The Importance of Technological Mastery for the Future of Indonesia's Economy
The Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Buya Anwar Abbas, delivered an important message regarding the nation's future. He stated that Indonesia must master technology if it wishes to become a major power in the world. According to him, amidst highly intense global competition, technology is the primary key to strengthening the country's position.
Anwar Abbas explained that without good technological mastery, Indonesia's economy will find it difficult to develop independently. Currently, many developed countries use technology to produce goods and services more efficiently. If Indonesia remains only a consumer, then our wealth of natural resources will not provide maximum benefits for all the people.
Furthermore, technological mastery is also closely related to the quality of human resources. He encouraged the government and the public to focus more on the development of education and innovation. By enhancing the technical skills of the younger generation, it is hoped that Indonesia will no longer depend on foreign products or expertise in the future.
In closing, this message serves as a reminder for all elements of the nation to start investing more in the field of science. Technological mastery is not just a matter of a modern lifestyle, but an essential strategy for maintaining national economic sovereignty. With the right steps, Indonesia has a great opportunity to become one of the world's economic leaders.
